Monsanto has asked a San Francisco court to allow it to release its GMO alfalfa.
Alfalfa is relatively easy to certify as an organic crop. Because of that it is also a good way to handle organic feed acres not currently involved in producing food crops.
It has been proven through rice, canola, and corn, that once the gmo genie is out of the bottle, the spread of artificial genes is difficult/impossible to control. That fact alone gives patent holders free rein in the seed market. Allowing Monsanto to sell gmo alfalfa will only make life more difficult for those who produce organic crops as well as those who do not wish to pay seed patent fees, to avoid it.
And Monsanto knows that.

Colorado CPA member Milt Heft has these thoughts on money, wealth and the economy. Heft is the owner of Petrogen, Inc in Colorado Springs.
A few thoughts about manufacturing:
There is a great misunderstanding of the relationship- between money and wealth. The beginning principles with which we can all agree are a few and simple noble truths:
1. Money is meaningless without wealth.
2. Wealth is difficult to distribute without money.
3. Wealth is the reality of the physical things we need to survive and thrive: food, clothing, shelter, ice cream & computers. It is the product of mining, industrial production, and agriculture.
4. Money is anything that make the wheels of production and distribution go ‘round.
5. Money is easy to manufacture and control.
6. Wealth takes a lot of blood, sweat, toil and tears.
